(exotica) Aperitivo update ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 25 Jan 2002 21:47:17 -0500 From: Peter Ledebur Subject: (exotica) mp3 bitrate question Here's one for all you mp3 rippers out there: I was given to understand that 128kbps was "real good" and that 160kbps or higher was pretty much indistinguishable from CD (except by those folks who also need a $50,000 stereo to Really Listen to music). But now I have on loan some CDs of mp3s (thanks, D!), many ripped at far higher rates that 160kbps. My question: what really is the optimum bitrate?

Some folks computers have a hard time with playing variable bit rate files, and I know it isnt the best if you plan on posting the files on the web, but for archiving sake it works for me. - -jonathan _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2002 12:08:06 EST From: DJJimmyBee@aol.com Subject: Re: (exotica) mp3 bitrate question In a message dated 1/26/02 10:45:10 AM, jonny_yuma@hotmail.com writes: << My question: what really is the optimum bitrate? >> a breakbeat artist based in Walla Walla # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 26 Jan 2002 18:04:41 -0800 From: "jonathan richardson" Subject: Re: (exotica) mp3 bitrate question >In a message dated 1/26/02 10:45:10 AM, jonny_yuma@hotmail.com writes: > ><< My question: what really is the optimum bitrate? >> > >a breakbeat artist based in Walla Walla Walla Walla Choppa Choppa Bang Bang - -jonny jonny _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2002 01:17:50 -0500 From: Carl Howard Subject: Re: (exotica) mp3 bitrate question Ha ha, very funny.

THE HONEY MACHINE Go-Go Lounge Monday, January 28 from 11pm-2am and beyond... Henry's Bistro in Chapel Hill, NC USA This past New Years party was a blast and we thank everyone who welcomed in 2002 by wearing out the HONEY MACHINE dancefloor! Check out pix of the night at http://www.thestepgods.com/honeymachine/. Extra special thanks go to the Incriminators Scooter Club for not only filling the ranks of the shingaling-ified, but also for inviting DJ Marco & DJ Midnite Cowboy (SOLID!) to supply the tunes for their scooter rally party this past weekend at Series One Studios. A fun time was had by all on both evenings! Cheers! But back to the business...as DJ Franz departs for the west coast, DJ DigDug (SOLID!) joins DJ Marco as a regular on the HONEY MACHINE decks THIS MONDAY for a night of sexy & ultra-danceable 60s-70s sounds de go-go internacionale: sleazy lounge, funky soul, latin boogaloo, bollywood breaks, asian pop, french ye-ye, sitar beat, hammond groovers, brazilian bossa, soundtrack moods, and more... all accompanied by the Sex-a-Delic light show, 60s-70s eurosleaze & sexploitation flicks on video, and a fully ABC licensed (and fully-stocked) bar. Best of all? NO COVER! So put on your Mary Quant mini and/or point-toed boots and dance until the bartender throws you out!

These are previously unreleased and not available on cd and can be found here: http://www.emusic.com/artists/21714/ There are at least 5 other MP3 albums coming out soon. The first two are "Gattonero" (Black Cat, a tv feature all about cats!) and "Amleto" (music for a documentary about Hamlet). Some of the other cds which haven't appeared yet on the site will contain more exotic stuff... there's a nice indian/tibetan themed album ("Namaste", used to comment a short film) which contains sitar samples and bits of 1940s jazz records. regards, Nicola DjB # Need help using (or leaving) this mailing list? # Send the command "info exotica" to majordomo@lists.xmission.com. # To post, email exotica@lists.xmission.com; replies go to original sender. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2002 18:35:29 +0100 From: "Maurizio Mansueti" Subject: (exotica) Video interview with Goblin Ciao, this is ErMan from the music band The Transistors. A little news for all the people who likes the world of movie soundtracks like us. Some months ago Luke and ErMan (The Transistors) met Goblin at the Trafalgar Studio in Rome, where Goblin made their great soundtracks for Dario Argento's movies as "Profondo Rosso", "Suspiria", "Buio Omega", "Zombi". Our interview with Goblin was filmed and recorded for Il Giaguaro Magazine, but now it's possible to find it inside the cd reissue of a Goblin rarity "Il fantastico viaggio del Bagarozzo Mark" thanks to Cinevox records. It's a great pleasure for us to have a little part in this reissue: a little homage to all Goblin fans like us! ErMan ___________________________________ [ ::.
